"We're following our concussion management plan and his status is day-to-day," Coach Kevin Sumlin said on a conference call with reporters.

Those were the days Re "A positive border image," Column, Sept. 3 Hector Tobar's column brought back memories of my mother and father, who were from Juarez but lived and worked in El Paso.

Tim Floyd was introduced as men's basketball coach at Texas El Paso on Tuesday while his previous employer, USC, awaits the findings of an NCAA investigation into his actions when he was coaching the Trojans.

Another was accused of letting an informant smuggle in a group of illegal immigrants. And in a third case, an agent was investigated for allegedly soliciting sex from a witness in a marriage fraud case.

How can Florida State fans complain that Bobby Bowden's team is never ranked anymore? Why, just this week the 'Nuls checked in at No. 7 in the Bottom Ten. Of course, they have a way to go to catch No. 1 New Mexico, which is winless. But BT pollsters tend to discount early-season victories, so Florida State (2-3) still has a chance to capture the Bottom Ten trophy, which depicts a Velveeta cheese statuette of Ryan Leaf being sacked in his own end zone. Another contender is Buffalo, which took over No. 2. But the Bulls must guard against a mowing down by Gardner-Webb.
